It depends on where you live. In BC:
You will need to have accumulated between 420 and 700 hours of insurable employment during the qualifying period to be entitled to receive EI regular benefits, as long as:
you can show that you have accumulated at least 490 hours of participation in the labour market during the labour force attachment period (the 52-week period immediately preceding the qualifying period); or
you received at least one week of maternity or parental benefits in the 208 weeks preceding the 52 weeks before the qualifying period (in other words, in the four years preceding the labour force attachment period).

Yes if you are living in Pennsylvania you are legally allowed to claim 99 weeks of state and federal unemployment compensation benefits. But before you can receive UI you need to file your initial application for the first 28 weeks, which is the standard level of unemployment claim duration. To file for benefits, you do not need to wait in line but can use the Internet at www.uc.pa.gov.

It depends on many factors but mainly it will take some time. The wait is not yet over. It took nearly seven to nine months for the Senate to pass an emergency extension bill that would continue the unemployment benefits being awarded eligible unemployed recipients throughout the United. In order to receive unemployment compensation, workers must meet the unemployment eligibility requirements for wages earned or time worked during an established (one year) period of time. In addition, workers must be determined to be unemployed through no fault of their own.

I applied for unemployment in Pittsburgh PA and after 8 weeks three days still no payment, I have called four times and told it takes as long as it takes, you are nearer the end than the beginning, another two weeks (that was three weeks ago). all I can do is put in a request to expedite the payment.
Now I understand they are busy etc, I am fortunate? to have enough savings to keep me afloat, but what of those that don`t?
How does one get payment, I worry is it going to be rejected then there`s a minimum of 4 weeks to go for an appeal.

I never got my Pennsylvania Letter Of Confirmation... containing my PIN required to file my biweekly unemployment claim. I called 888-313-7284, followed all the phone prompts, sat on the phone for an hour, got my biweekly claim taken care of, and they are sending a NEW pin number. It WORKS, but you have to be patient. It`s a pain, but it works..

If you filed an initial claim, you will receive information in the mail within 10-12 days after submitting your application. You check should follow about a week or so after that. So, it should take between 14 and 21 days.

Someone said: no you need to file EVERY WEEK not every two weeks. if you miss one week you usually have to call the next week and sit on the phone for a few hours until someone finally gets to your call and then they have to go back into the computer and do all this stuff that way they can refile that continued claim for which ever weeks you did not file for.
**a non- monetary decision: means that you just filed the new claim and the status of your claim is pretty much pending because they haven`t decided if you are eligible to receive unemployment benefits just yet. they have to talk to your previous employer and do all their paperwork as well as everything they need done in their computer system and then they will send you a letter in the mail letting you know if you are actually eligible to receive unemployment benefits as well as to fully explain what you receive every week and why that is the amount they are paying you. it generally takes 2-6 weeks for them to finally start paying the benefits and any weeks that are held due to the status of your claim being " a non- monetary decision" will all be paid in full at onetime with one single deposit onto your unemployment benefits card or deposited into your bank account
